Bentley Petrol Pump Noise. Ref. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}21/KW.3.12.35. Please receive herewith:- LeC.4865 showing a rubber mounting for the petrol pump if it is retained on the dashboard. There is one point which should be kept in mind and that is to obtain the best petrol resisting rubber, as it will be appreciated that if there is any internal leakage from the petrol pump the rubber mounting might rapidly deteriorate.
